Let me just add that if a writer ..particularly a poet...is not writing honestly from everything they know to be true in their heart of hearts they should find another job....like politician, lawyer, or CEO.

I wasn't saying that writer's shouldn't be honest in their writing kennyc, just that everyone hides part of themselves from sight and even from themselves. Very few of us really know ourselves as well as we think we do. For example some may think a given minority is given too easy a ride in life and be amazed that others think that they are a bigot. They don't see themselves that way. The old saying "I think therefore I am" only goes so far. We know that we exist but we don't really know ourselves. Now and then an event happens in our lives and we are forced to face some trial and we learn a bit more about ourselves as a result.
